During the 4-6 hours after Dysport or Botox injections, will tilting my head downward or upward increase risk of migration?

Question

During the 4-6 hours after Dysport or Botox injections, I read that you should remain upright to minimize risk of migration. I don’t plan on lying down or bending over during that time. But I didn’t know if I also needed to keep my head level. For example, would tilting my head upward to watch TV or tilting it downward to read a book increase risk of migration?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Subtle movement of the head would not cause the Dysport to migrate.  The recommendation is directed more toward laying down within the first four hours after injections, or working out, etc.  See your injector for other post treatment instructions.

Hi and thanks for your question. Everyday movements will not cause migration of Botox or Dysport. It can take 1-2 weeks to see final results with Botox and Dysport. Hope this helps.

No, normal head movements will not make Botox migrate. It takes 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. Best, Dr. Emer

Moving your head around in a normal way should not effect on your treatment.  As a general precaution, I usually recommend my patients refrain from any extra activity for 4 hours following Dysport or Botox injections and avoid strenuous activity for at least 24 hours, but casual activities would be fine.

Thank you for your question. No, everyday movements will not cause your Dysport or any other neuromodulator to migrate. Please remember that it can take up to 2 weeks to see the maximum effects of Dysport. If you have any other concerns please follow up with your injector. Best of Luck!
